'Twilight's' Kristen Stewart, Sarah Palin among 'Tonight Show' guests
Jay Leno's return to "The Tonight Show" in March has attracted some big names, including "Twilight" human Kristen Stewart.The late-night show will also feature several medal-wearing Olympians, "American Idol" soon-to-be ex-judge Simon Cowell and the former Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin.
Here's Jay's guest list for those first two weeks:
Monday, March 1 - Skier Lindsey Vonn will get to show off her medals (two to date), and Jamie Foxx and musical guest Brad Paisley will stop by.
Tuesday, March 2 - Sarah Palin will appear to face her nemesis Dave, and snowboarder Shaun White will try to convince everyone to call him "The Animal" instead of the "Flying Tomato."
Wednesday, March 3 - Speed Skater Apolo Ohno, the most decorated Winter Olympian for the U.S., will skate through along with Chelsea Handler, Avril Lavigne and the cast of "Jersey Shore" doing the "Jaywalk All-Stars."
Thursday, March 4 - Matthew McConaughey, probably with his shirt on, will guest, along with "Up in the Air" director/writer Jason Reitman.
Friday, March 5 - "Today" host Meredith Vieira and "Invictus" star Morgan Freeman.
Monday, March 8 - "American Idol" judge Simon Cowell is the only guest listed. Do we need anyone else?
Tuesday, March 9 - Very curious hodgepodge of the excellent Christoph Waltz from "Inglourious Basterds," Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and animal expert Dave Salmoni. We know Dave is the big draw, so we saved best of last.
Wednesday, March 10 - Can't get enough of Joan Jett? "Twilight" star Kristen Stewart, who just got the BAFTA Rising Star award and plays a young Joan Jett in the upcoming film "The Runaways," stops by. So does "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives" host chef Guy Fieri.
Thursday, March 11 - Dana Carvey, Kim Kardashian and musical guest Colbie Caillat.
Friday, March 12 - Sweet 16 Dakota Fanning is a guest to promote her role in "The Runaways" and so is filmmaker-writer Judd Apatow. He's not promoting "The Runways," but he's a guest.
Which guest would you actually tune in to see?

I really hope nobody worth watching does Leno.
God knows Palin is not worth watching.
None of the above. Some of these folks I might catch on Letterman or O'Brien's inevitable new show on Fox or wherever, but I still have no interest in viewing the Tonight Show under Jay Leno after what happened to Conan. I doubt Palin's appearance will be anywhere near as funny as Conan episode where she showed up Bill Shatner.
kristen you are the best. I am so happy for you.I am such a big fan of you. My children think that I am insane, cos I watch everything about you.
You rock........
Love him or hate him, that's why he will be #1 again. Sooner than I thought. I don't think there are enough "I'm with Coco" people to boycott to stop the red states from watching the great SP. If he decides to go against her in the interview he could get quite a few of the Conan people back on his side.

I am so sick of talk show putting this dimwit bimbo Palin on their show for ratings ---I am not watching shallow empty talk with that airhead and Leno will try and be cutey with her yak yak the american public is hard up for entertainment!!!!!!!!
Leno will an easy, friendly room for $arah "ALSO TOO". $arah will feel no "UNCOMFORTABLENESS" there.
Let's hope Leno doesn't ask WHAT SHE READS or WHO IS HER FAVORITE FOREFATHER. Maybe he should just ask $arah what her favorite color is or something like that.
Sorry, but I'll be watching Letterman as always. NBC was stupid not to keep Conan. I've never liked Leno, but under Conan I'd switch over to the "Tonight Show" when Letterman was a repeat. I hope Leno remains in 2nd place and then 3rd once Conan is on FOX (FOX better give him a show).
Can't stand Letterman. The first 3 nights I will probably catch. NBC scored with the Olympics/athletes. The Simon Cowell show I will probably watch too.
Jay Leno S*CKS and Sarah Palin S*CKS MORE!
It's a shame that this self-serving scumbag will be number one in the ratings again, but he books the big names people want to see and draws in the mindless middle-aged masses with his bland comedic skills.
